Rapha Chamois Cream

The use of chamois cream is a classic cycling tradition, originating in the need for riders to treat their leather chamois to keep them supple and comfortable. Rapha Chamois Cream has undergone rigorous testing on countless rides and in race conditions by Rapha ambassadors and team riders.

Rapha skincare products are made from the aromatic plants and herbs found on the Giant of Provence, used in local concoctions for hundreds of years. Their scents will be familiar to any rider that has made the pilgrimage to Mont Ventoux.

Ingredients include:

Atlas Cedar – a mild astringent reputedly good for relieving stress and tension.

Lavender – a natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory used to help ease aches and pains.

Pine needle – reputed to ease rheumatism and respiratory complaints.

Rosemary – characteristic Mediterranean aroma and general tonic to stimulate the senses.

Smells good, best kept for shorter ridesI've used about half a dozen different chamois creams in my time. This one has positives and disadvantages. On the plus side, I love the smell of it. I think it has the nicest scent of any chamois cream I've tried. The packaging is nice, typical Rapha. And the cream's neither too thick nor too greasy. With all that said, I have to point out that the chamois cream didn't last as long as others I've used. For longer rides of, say, 3 hours plus (ie epic sportives) I'd opt for a different cream. The price, too, is offputting.

Replaced myHaving received a free sample of the Rapha chamois cream and been suitably impressed, I decided to replace my usual cream with the Rapha version. It has proved to be very effective on all manner of rides and durations - anything which can increase the comfort level of the gentlemen's area is to be applauded!

Love it, just wish it would stay in stockLove this cream, the smell, the feel and it will last for ever on a ride. My only issue is that Rapha has a hard time keeping it in stock. They went out for 8 months. Should by two cans next time

Pure heavenFor years I'd been using Noxzema Cold Cream as I live in Southern California and it very seldom gets cold and Noxzema is pretty inexpensive. I decided to throw this in as I was getting some Christmas gifts. Oh man, what I had been missing! In the past I had tried ones in a tube but it was kind of a hassle, this tub makes it easy. Just reach in grab a gob and slap it on! Done! I will never go back to using the Noxzema for chamois cream again.

Best Chamois Cream AroundI've been using this cream for years - tried various US and European brands, including the one named for a former pro rider's genitals. Rapha's is the best for keeping friction and saddle sores at bay,

Lovely, slippery, chaffing relief.It's slippery bum cream.
It works.
It smells lovely.
And you can use the tin afterwards for bits and bobs.
Used Assos cream for ages.
Nice. But not amazing.
Then used Eurostyle and it was really nice.
But used to feel a bit wet down there.
Rapha is the nicest.
Goes on and smells amazing.
Slight tingle.
No wet feeling.
But keeps any chaffing at bay for both short and long rides.
Don't get as much for your money as others but what you do get is, in my opinion, better than all the others.

great product when it's availableHurray! The chamois cream is here, the chamois cream is here! I should stock up and buy more while Rapha has it in stock. It's been out of stock for so long, I think I had to ride all summer using nothing, and that's uncomfortable. Seriously good product, production gaps withstanding.
